We Remember

Every year, the Church observes vocation awareness during one week in November. This year, it is observed November 6-12. Its purpose is to “promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations” (USCCB).

Saturday: Confession: 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM

Turkey and Tarps

“Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be
as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10

For over 25 years our Holy Spirit community has been a ray of hope to the many clients at Sacred Heart Community Services. As the holidays quickly come upon us we again are asked to help those in need. We have the opportunity to provide a turkey, chicken or ham dinner to brighten the season for families in need.
As we gather around our table to give thanks we are ensuring that they also have something to give thanks for.

We will be collecting donations November 1st through 13th . A
donation of $20.00 supports one holiday dinner, which feeds 12-
18 people, or provides two tarps for our Survival Sacks ministry.
This year, you can donate in person, after Mass on the weekends
of November 5th-6th and November 12th-13th, or online, starting November 1st. For online donations, we will provide a donation link button on this page that will allow you to make your donation.

Please be as generous as you can. Both the pandemic and
inflation have caused tremendous hardship for many individuals,
so if you are not able to participate we ask for your continued
prayers for our brothers and sisters at Sacred Heart.

Together we can make a difference.

Please click here to donate. You can also donate on Holy Spirit's giving page, by selecting "Turkeys and Tarps" on the drop down button.
